Description
In Mexican households, tamales are a sign of a celebration, served during big family dinners on holidays, like Christmas or New Year's Eve. In these homes, the process of making tamales becomes a celebration in itself. Abuelas, tías, moms and daughters all gather for a fun afternoon dedicated to making tamales. Everyone is assigned a job, and suddenly the kitchen becomes an assembly line; someone spreads masa on the cornhusk, while another spoons on the filling, and third forms the shape and finally the last who ties the tamales closed. After all the tamales are formed and cooked, you sit around the table with your family, take your first bite into the soft, pillowy dough and taste the creamy filling, one thing is certain: all of the work was worth the effort!
